Yep, my research pretty much confirmed that, everyone seems to say they'll be out of spec and I figure it's cheap insurance to put in new ones anyway, even if a couple of them test ok. I picked up a load of resistors and stuff from a Radio Shack that was having a one-day store closing "everything must go" sale a few years ago, so I'm sure I have something here. If not I'll just run a couple half watts in parallel and double up to get back to the resistance I need. Learning and having fun as I go along!
